IC 410 and IC 405 as a Zoomin Movie.
I have shot this area back in 2008 with a 300mm camera lens. In this movie the latest image of IC 410 is embeded in an older wide field image and animated to a still motion movie. By this way, I can show both, wide field and a high resolution in a same image.

Parallel vision
Cross vision
NOTE! This is a personal vision about forms and shapes, based on some known facts and artistic impression. Viewing instructions can be found from a Right hand side menu.

Here you can find an Anaglyph, Red/Cyan, Stereo image.
You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see images right. Note, if you have a Red and Green filters, you can use them! Red goes to Left eye.

IC 410, a cosmic fertilization
HST-palette
Natural color composition from Narrowband channels.
After many technical and weather problems I managed to get enough data for this image.
IC 410 is a beautiful object next to a "Flaming Star Nebula", IC 405, in Auriga.
Ambient temperature was about -21 celsius degrees and the transparency was good.
Seeing was really bad all night long, about 5 FWHM, so I shot H-alpha frames binned 2x2 to have a image scale of 1,5 arcseconds/pixel.
-
Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
-
Telescope, Meade LX200 GPS 12" @ f5
Camera, QHY9
Guiding, SXV-AO @ 8Hz
Image Scale, 1,5 arcseconds/pixel
-
Exposures:
H-alpha 7x1200s Binned 2x2
O-III 4x600s, binned 3x3
S-II 3x600s, binned 3x3
A starless image of the IC 410. This looks now like a Rococo painting, very 3D!

Frustration
I mentioned about hardware problems in this post. Problems I ment are in a telescopes electric, not in my camera. I like to clear this up.
QHY9 will have soon a software update and it'll work without flaws in my extreme conditions too.
Bottom line.
QHY9 has been a bigest upgrade for my equipments ever!
We have now clear up here 65N and temperature is nice -30 celsius (-22 Farenheit).
Seeing looks good, transparency is not too good though.
Can't do any imaging since my equipments are not working due many hardware issues.
I have spend countles hours fixing things and now there is only couple of issues left.
I just have spend six hours to do some power measurements to pinpoint failure(s), three hours of them outside.
I feel really frustrated to be unable to use clear night(s)... what a shame.
NOTE
I made a small face lift to my Blog. There is now larger preview images and both columns are wider, hope you'll like!

My image of Bubble Nebula was a "Cloudy Nights Imaging and Sketching Contest - CCD Imaging & Processing's" winner.
This post is somehow late, since I noticed this just now.

I have found out, that with this tech. I can combine a high resolution details to a wide field experience.
Seeing the "big picture" helps the orientation and shows the context.
Heart Nebula Zoomout
I made a Zoomout video from a Heart Nebula as well.
Klick HERE to see this in YouTube, please, klick a HD-symbol to see this in HD-format.Movie is made by stitching together a wide field image and a detail image from a same target, in this case the heart (Melotte 15) of the heart nebula.
